What Is a Boar's Hair Brush Made Of?

Boar bristle hair brushes are considered to be excellent in managing all types of hair. These brushes are perfect for thick and ethnic hair, because the natural boar bristles are packed close together and able to penetrate through the follicles.

Bristles

The bristles are made from the hair of an adult boar. They are sterilized and cleaned to make a quality brush that is 100 percent natural and healthy for use on hair.

Handle

Natural boar bristle hair brushes have handles that are wooden, plastic or metal. There are several brushes that include all three materials. An example would be a wooden handle with metal and plastic sections.

Metal

Metal handles are used less frequently on natural boar bristle hair brushes. Metal holds heat in hair when using a blow dryer or other hot iron. Round boar bristle brushes are usually made from metal.

Plastic

A plastic handle on a boar bristle hair brush is used on less expensive boar bristle hair brushes. This material is frequently used as an accent on wooden brushes to help with the grip of the brush.

Wood

The beechwood handle is the most popular type of boar bristle hair brush. Typically made from all-natural wood, it provides a strong, long-lasting brush.
